I invested so much time in this game and could never beat the 3rd bowser

I grew up with a nes and snes - when mario64 came out I thought it was the BEST GRAPHICS EVARRR. Nothing could get better than that.
quarterburn
Fun fact, the N64 had a resolution of 256x224 which is also the exact same resolution of the NES.

It's amazing how pretty our nostalgia makes old games look.
AvengeTheCompanionCube
I remember discovering the castle in Mario Kart 64. Really blew my mind.

I would drive my poor dear deceased grandmother crazy because she had to endure the rainbow slide theme.

That was 20 years ago

I sadly never owned an N64 so I never got to complete it. :/

Ahhhh the slide at the bottom of the castle...I still remember turning the controller to make it go in that direction.

That motherfucking water level was so hard.

Catching the dam monkey? Didn't do anything just fun haha

I thought by far the hardest level was Rainbow Ride, so technical!

Hard water levels are Nintendo's passion.
TheNoblePizzaDragonWhoLivesInYourFridge
I love that one for the music >:(
AvengeTheCompanionCube
And the sand level too! Holy hell!
MightyIink
Remember when Ocarina of Time ran at a solid 20fps. It was the best game of all time and no one ever complained about the framerate.
d1d1t4t3hlulz0hl4wdy
I disagree, because in 96, 3dfx released voodoo cards, and quake 1 was supreme @1024X768 especially with multiplayer. If I remember right.
demodulated
You are correct. OP is mistaking 3D acceleration for HD resolution.
d1d1t4t3hlulz0hl4wdy
Hard to remember, the 90's feel like it was only 10 years ago and a blur of tech coming out, and even though I was a teenager at the time...
sigmaprojects
stop reminding me I'm getting old
d1d1t4t3hlulz0hl4wdy
Getting? I think we already are.
sigmaprojects
Shhhh... if I don't look in a mirror I forget easily.
SuperTacticalSandwich
This game was legit back in the day.
SDonehoo88
Yes it was!
ExcuseMeBearFuckerDoYouNeedAssistance
I miss 3d platformers
HypnoJack
I'm pretty sure they still make those. At least on PC?
Elerich
there's plenty of super mario 64 rom hacks on PC if you want to play variations of the game made by fans
NerfHerderTurdBurglar
actually that was standard definition, since it was all there was at the time. It was the standard, by definition
whattiemisit
[insert "I guess " meme]
NikodemRiebandt
it was LD since the game was rendered at 240p. SD is 480i, ED is 480p, HD 720p (and I think 1080i falls into that as well) and full HD 1080p
BronzeLeaguePro
SD is 480@30/576@24, all depending on whether you're an NTSC or a PAL.
NerfHerderTurdBurglar
None of these terms existed back then. There were cathode ray tv's still, not digital. No pixels.
BronzeLeaguePro
Yes there were. Images were drawn using a raster scan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_scan
ZANTHERA
PAL is 576@25Hz or 50Hz if it is double frame (plays the same frame twice) which some DVDs have It's also why some things sound sped up here
ZANTHERA
Instead of interpolating frames it will simply be sped up from 24Hz to 25Hz resulting in a 4.271 percent increase in speed.
NikodemRiebandt
its not playing a frame twice, its showing one frame in 2 sets of interlaced fields, dont confuse Hz with frames theyre related but not same
ZANTHERA
Not true, I have many DVDs that I can skip frame by frame and it shows the same frame twice.
demodulated
No it wasn't. TV was 640x480 at 24 frames per second but PC monitors could do at least 1024x768 at 75 fps.
serenityfast
NTSC back then was ~440x480, at 60 fields per second (30 frames after deinterlacing). Only movies run at 24fps.
eovnu87435ds
Low Def. N64 ran at 240p resolution
chrishallett83
Lol, only if you live in a shitty country. SD tv has 576 lines of resolution where I'm from.
WildBluntHickok
480 tall is normal for north america. You must be in the UK. Always thought your almost-square tvs looked slightly bizarre.
chrishallett83
You dingus, the screen ratio was still 4:3 - just a higher resolution. And no, I'm Australian.
demodulated
You're right. I think UK and Asia had a slightly higher frame rate for television as well. Thanks for the correction.
Steel723
Yup, now he's catching up on his rest... After all he hasn't been played since the early 2000's
ieatCheezIts
Many people still play it. Even for the ROM hacks.

Lierofox
He's just getting faster. He's tired of collecting stars and just skips straight to pushing bowser's face in instead.
TheFlyingDemocrab
I still haven't gotten the star at the boat level in which you have to fire yourself to a pillar and jump to it, but Mario does not want to.

I love how he would say different Italian foods while he was sleeping.

Woah, it's so 3D. Like it's jumping out of the screen!
GeorgeNotTheLivestock
But which way is it spinning??
FeathersPryx
Clockwise. That illusion doesnt apply because it isn't a silhouette and there are marks to follow such as his arm that crosses from r to l

The joke is not strong with this one

Wow yeah I really underestimated how much people would hate this admittedly lame joke

This game was so flippin bad ass. At the time, getting all 100 stars meant everything to me
LadyLorelei
100? Proof you're just fishing for points and don't know jack shit about the game.
JezusChrizt
You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.
BlackManInABush
During childhood, my friend would erase everyone's file for no reason at all. Same with Phantasy Star Online ep 1 & 2. He got strangled once

By the owner of the games (our daycare lady's son). Good times.

Pretty sure its 20

Youre short 20. Step your game up

Wasn't there 120..?
JasonForge
Never even got to 15...
Brutalos1
Finding all the stars, that was my first legit use of the internet.
imagenyus
Man it was huge, never gonna forget watching my grandmother play for hours. Why hasn't this been remade with up to date graphics
BronzeLeaguePro
It was released on the Nintendo DS with better graphics. It's worth checking out if you have a DS of some persuasion.
Ldkiki
Unofficially, it has. I think someone recreated it using the unreal engine and assets from recent mario games. No idea where to get it.
HalloIamherenow
I mean, it did get remade for the DS. Super Mario 64 DS, but I guess that's kind of outdated at this point.
LukeKitchen
You can only control the characters with the directional pad which isn't very fun and very close to infuriating.
Whimsically
You were given the option to move your character using the touch screen. To help with this, there were straps with a thumb tab on the end.

There is a dinosaur on the roof.

Yeah if your timing and angle is good you can wallkick up the back right corner

Naw, Yoshi was on the roof in Nintendo64, too.
Xenarion
indeed. You can talk to him once you've cleared the game.
AnothaUsername
I thought I read something that said that. TO THIS DAY I'm still trying to beat rainbow ride (tend to play tipsy now vs. being 7 yrs old)
Nitrobskt
You could always wall kick up the corner. The lives are much more useful before you have all the stars anyway.
AnothaUsername
Personally wanted to beat it without having unlimited lives, I'm prideful :)
